Ramadan - Make Aspiring Goals During The Holy Month Of Ramadan by Quran reading

Ramadan is the most auspicious and blessed month of the Islamic calendar. During this month, Allah showers His blessings on His servants and it is during this month that Allah listens to all kinds of prayers of His people. Ramadan is the month during which individuals can shape their lives according to the concepts of Islam. Therefore, it is essential to have goals and aims during this month to lead a life according to the principles of Islam. 1. Be Moderate in Eating and Drinking After the Iftar time, most Muslims start eating food like there is no tomorrow. Eating so much food ultimately makes it difficult for people to move. Eating too much after Iftar actually contradicts with the spirit and teachings of Ramadan. During Ramadan, Muslims are expected to learn self-control and avoid indulgence into things. Therefore, Muslims should follow the rule of the Prophet (PBUH) even during the month of Ramadan. One third of their stomachs should be filled with food, one third with water and the remaining space should be left for breathing. 2. Make Charity During the month of Ramadan, the Prophet (PBUH) gave out more in charity than normal days. Therefore, all Muslims should try to dig in deep into their wallets and open their hearts during the auspicious month of Ramadan. Allah blesses Muslims for being more considerate and keeping into consideration the need of the poor people. Even if you can manage a very small amount, Allah will still bless you for it is the intention that matters. 3. Memorize Surahs Most times people do not memorize the Quran because it appears to be a daunting task. However, it is more effective and useful if you memorize in small steps. During each week, you can memorize one Surah of the Quran. it is best to start with a short and easy Surah as it will make learning easy for you. Once you have built the momentum, you may be able to learn longer Surahs as well. 4. Offer Taraweeh Prayers As soon as people eat, they feel drowsy and sleepy because of the sudden intake of food. However, it is always best to resist that urge and go to the mosque to offer taraweeh prayers. You may also offer the taraweeh prayers at home; however, praying in congregation has its own benefits and has greater rewards for people. 5. Avoid using Bad Language During Ramadan, it is very difficult for people to control their urge to swear or use bad language. However, this is what the Ramadan spirit is all about. Ramadan teaches people to be patient and respect others. So if you do not control yourself during this holy month, Ramadan will be of no use to you since it did not teach you anything. Conclusion It is also very rewarding to read and recite Quran during Ramadan or to learn Quran during this auspicious month. If you cannot go to a Quran school, you can simply learn Quran online from a competent tutor.
